Easter Activities

Brandon and I put together each others' Easter baskets this year. Don't know what we will do with all of the candy but it was fun! I got the Sword and the Stone movie and Brandon got a collapsible shovel and some new socks with his candy.

Don't know what's up with my shirt and the pooch in my shirt. I wish I could retake the photo with my shirt straight though!

Brandon is always very creative with his gifts. He made a little Easter puzzle for me and had the sticky notes scattered on the doors. I had to put them in order to solve the puzzle. Very cute.


We got to have Easter dinner and dye Easter eggs with these crazy coons. We love the Allens and their adorable little girls. It was fun to have them around!

Oh, and not to forget about the peach fruit roll-ups I started making last night. Can you tell that I am already addicted? The entire tray really was covered when I went to get my camera but I snitched a little and then discovered that I really liked it!! I will be trying strawberry next.

Happy Birthday Ashley!

Went out to breakfast with these two girls last Saturday and had lots of fun. Going to miss hanging out with these two when Ashley leaves!! We get together and do a group dinner once a week and it has worked out wonderfully. I am going to miss the good meals.

Oh, and it was pretty early... but a perfect start to my day!

Projects

I am starting to feel like I have this chronic problem with projects. Right now my back room is stacked with vinyl/craft/sewing whatever you want to call them ... projects! I love doing them but have less time than I want to do them. I even have some that I am behind on posting about. So here is one that I am pretty proud of. I finished it maybe a month or so ago but forgot to have my picture taken with it. This isn't the greatest picture of it but it is a nice and thick baby blanket. It has batting in the middle and the backing is that really soft fabric. I tied it as well. There are many flaws with it but I love it nonetheless and will keep it for the day that we get our children. I also made the little matching pillow on the left with a bunch of scraps. The proportions are not exactly even with the two fabrics (which bugs me a little) but that's ok.

End Table Makeover

So I redid my black end table to match the hutch/tv stand that I redid a few weeks ago. Now I am working on the bookshelf but I think I am losing steam! I hope to have a picture of the finished bookshelf by the end of the week but we'll see.

Easter Egg Sugar Cookies!

Decorated lots of Easter egg sugar cookies with friends today during the Priesthood session of General Conference. Hurray for Spring!!!

Murder Mystery Dinner

Brandon and I had lots of fun hosting a Murder Mystery party on Friday night for a group of our good friends. My favorite part was getting the dining area ready.

And here's the group. I loved their outfits. Each of them did such a good job playing their characters. I am pretty sure I could do murder mysteries every weekend and be ok with it.

Another Tutu

Finished another tutu today. This time I mixed two different kinds of pink and I LOVE it!
